Happy Monday!
Zenyatta is expecting her fourth foal at the end of March, her second by War Front. We’re excited about the new arrival, and it won’t be long until we head to Kentucky for foal watch.
In the meantime we receive frequent updates from Lane’s End. Zenyatta is in perfect health and great spirits. Alys Emson caught her resting in her paddock last week–she didn’t feel like getting up but she wanted treats anyway!
Follow @teamzenyatta on Instagram for the most frequent photo updates.
Enjoy,
Team Z

Hi Zenny! So close I can almost touch your nose! Nice photo!

It is a lovely afternoon to be a Queen!! Don’t you look healthy and happy?!?! Wish I could kiss that beautiful nose. Thank you, Alys, for the close-up. I am pacing, not too quickly yet. Is that a large filly bump?!?!
I Love You, Zenyatta,
Thanks to Mr. & Mrs. Moss, Team Zenyatta, and Team Lane’s End,

Let the pacing begin! Zenny looks wonderful, and very full of foal! I wonder if she’ll stick to her tradition of giving birth on special days; I’d love it if she has a St. Patrick’s baby!

Great photos. Zenyatta has perfect whiskers along with everything else. Are we looking at an Easter foal? Hoping that all goes smoothly for delivery of another baby, a healthy filly or colt, for our favorite horse.

Oh my!!! Such gorgeous pictures of our queen. Thanks to Alys (imagine being THAT close th her ?) and to all of Team Z for the update and to all of the folks at Lane’s End for their wonderful care. Don’t really understand Instagram or how to “follow” you so please keep posting photos here as well.

Not quite the same but I have a sorta similar close up of Union Rags taken last Aug. and even less similar I have a couple from Taylor Made of mares with older foals taken on the same trip.
Tiz Herself
That nose is just begging to be kissed :) There is just something about Zenyatta that just makes a person smile and never stop – fact Zenyatta is one of my soothing words for the not so good days/moments.
Thank you as always to Zenyatta’s connections for continuing to share her with all of us!
The end of the month will be here before we know it, looking forward to the arrival of Z16 – seeing pics of her and hearing of Lady Eli’s first recorded breeze back – it is a good news day :)

Dear Majestic Mama to Be,
You will give your doting aunties another thrill in the home stretch and we are all holding on for the ride. You will finish and our Zenyatta Nation will roar.
Special thanks to Team Z, the Mosses and especially Alys for that special moment she always captures. I look at Zenny , large and content. The world seems a better place just seeing her resting. Jan in LA

Love the pictures of Zenny laying in her pasture, especially the second one. She looks so relaxed. I can’t wait for her little one to be born, hopefully another filly.

Going to Old Friends on Wednesday! Wish I could see you but I’ll wave on my way by. Love you pretty girl!
Margaret
Oooh you are gonna have fun! War Emblem is accepting visitors now. Although I’m not sure how close you should get. He can be rather bad tempered. And they had to geld him. Ask when you get there. It’s a fascinating story and a first class team did the surgery SUCCESSFULLY on an older stallion. Silver Charm LOVES visitors. See if you can see Yahoo and Google Eldafeer’s goats.
Take lots of notes and have a wonderful visit!
